I wanted to use the Hearthpyre mod to create settlements. So I followed the seemingly simple instructions:

1. Created a "Mods" folder in the CoQ main directory

2. Downloaded the mod and placed the zip file into the "Mods" folder

3. Unzipped the mod into the "Mods" folder

That should be it...but no mods show up when I start the game and go to Mods on the main menu.

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Nevermind - needed to be putting mods in the appdata mods folder
